"Simply Cotton Australia" by Ange Humphries.

Soil, water, plants, animals and air are all part of what makes a dynamic and healthy cotton farming system. Protecting natural resources and growing crops to clothe the world is a balancing act that cotton growers manage every day. And as custodians of large amounts of land, cotton growers are an important part of Australia’s environmental farming workforce.

They are improving soil health, fencing off remnant vegetation, saving water, practicing no-till farming and Integrated Pest Management and generally becoming more efficient across the farming operation.  All this is done with a combination of cutting edge science and technology, local experience, good old fashioned common sense and significant personal investments of time and money.
